A friend suggested upgrading my WXSIM so I tried to do that. My original version of WXSIM was 1.0 and the latest version seems to be 1.5.
So I downloaded it and the first thing that happened was wxsimate seemed to download everything fine until it got to RAOB and it stuck there with a message about the DST switch being in the wrong position (which it wasn’t). This message kept coming back when I acknowledged it so I don’t know what to make of it. When I tried to run WXSIM, the first time it produced a forecast which had near gale force winds every day and still no snow. I noticed a switch whose function I did not completely understand but it seemed to suggest I should press it because I am using Windows XP. Since I did that, WXSIM 2017 refuses to work, it ignores double clicking of the desktop icon. WXSIM 2016 refuses to work as well. So my WXSIM forecasting has come to a grinding halt.
Please suggest what I have to do to get WXSIM working again.
